Sony has unveiled the winners and runner-ups for the World Photography Organization’s 2015 National Awards.

Comprised of artists and work from 54 countries, local judges were asked to discover and award the best images taken by a photographer from their respective nations, each of which had to be entered into at least one of the ten Open categories of the 2015 Sony World Photography Awards.

Besides knowing their image was chosen as the best in the country, each winner also received a solid collection of Sony equipment, which included a Sony a6000 camera. Each winning image will also go on display at the Somerset House in London, where the 2015 Sony World Photography Awards exhibition will be shown from April 24th to May 10th.

Below are just a few of the winning images from countries around the world.
